Directions:
Put all beef ingredients in crock pot and cook on low for 8 hrs. or until meat falls apart easily. Remove roast and set aside. Strain liquid, discarding solids, and reserve for use as soup stock. Shred meat by pulling apart with a fork. Make BBQ sauce and add to meat. Thin with reserved liquid if too thick.

Serve on large sandwich buns with extra BBQ sauce on the side.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Adapted from a recipe by my husband's cousin, Rose Schmidt (aka Chubby). It was my favorite thing for her to cook. She made it on top of the stove in a big stock pot. Use a pot big enough to cover the roast with water and just simmer the beef, DO NOT BOIL it, until the meat falls apart easily when pulled with a fork. May also be made with pork using a butt roast. Plus, you can also use any bbq sauce you like instead of making this one.
